1401  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you really believe Satoshi is real?? on: May 07, 2022, 08:44:49 PM
It is true that we should be grateful to him because with his innovation we can get to know Bitcoin as it is today. I don't think we need to argue about trivial things, like continuing to argue about who Satoshi really is? Or whatever it is. Because if we know Dan feels his work it means he really exists. Be it a boy, a girl, an organization or something else, let him hide his identity if it makes him feel comfortable and safe with him. Most importantly we thank him for how we feel right now, I think it will make him happy.
I owe my entire life to him. Without crypto, I would have been a mere minimum wage worker who barely survived, probably didn't even survive that easily, would probably have ton of debt, and be basically financially in terrible situation. Whereas, thanks to satoshi and bitcoin, I now paid almost all of my debts, paid all my families debts give or take as well, the last one ends in June and I will be out of debt forever.

Maybe that is not something special to you guys but in reality that is something that is quite rare in my nation, being without debt means you are "rich" in my nation, I know that sounds unreal to some people from rich nations but that is true here.

Quote
Currently there are indeed many new projects present and we are confused in choosing the coins that we want to invest, so that more in holding coins we must first see the team that manages the project, if it is always active then the project will definitely be successful, besides that we also have to see the whitepaper of the project because the whitepaper is a picture that can make a project can be successful.
Exactly, there are many projects in the community but you need to carry out your personal research to know the one that will be successful in the future by knowing the details about that project before investing your money. I think the population of people that applied for the project will determine how long the project will be successful. If the population is too low don't invest your money on such project but if the population is high in the community, just know that the project will bring good income at the end of the project.
By doing a research, we will know if which project are lying and which aren't. This is still a big help on reducing scams but I think that not all legit projects can have a better future. I've witnessed many legit projects on the past and only few have survived and remains active until now. How will you determine that the project has a lot of investors?

I think that was hard and we cant say that we based on the number of their subscribers on their social media accounts or groups because it can be faked out easily and if ever there are legit investors, there is still no guarantee that they will stay on that project for such a long time. Projects must be careful on their actions as some investors are highly sensitive.

This is true and a proven fact in the cryptomarket. But the riskier part is the holding capability. Everyone doesn't have the ability to hold for much longer time period. Users who have invested after meeting their regular needs have the ability to have patience for a long term. Most of the common investors of bitcoin will be the one who invest to get something in the short term. Such users will be affected. In short Whales will be in the safer side whereas small holders will be the victims.
It's better to say that the risk will depend on the persons' capability to hold. The longer they hodl the more the risk because the future is always uncertain. It's okay if someone cant hodl longer because investing doesn't always mean to hodl at a very long time but investment have three periods, that is short mid and long term.

There is also trading, if someone is itchy to sell his coins at all times. Whales always make sure that they can get most of the benefits so yeah they are always on the safe side. Not all remains to be a newbie and even if they are only small hodlers, they can also became wise as the large investors, the more they gain experience on this market.
1404  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: High Rollers on: May 07, 2022, 08:14:02 AM
Depends on someones aims or motives because there are small amount gamblers who do really wishes to make their capital becomes big or even to hit up jackpots or big multipliers or something which do really falls out

into the category on aiming for profits and not really for the fun that they do really seek off.It all matters on someones perception or treatment towards gambling whether they do play for fun or simple for making money.HIgh rollers are normal because it would really exist on every casino which there are players who do really spend up money likes there's no tomorrow behind.
Do you mean there are also small time gamblers that only plays for fun and not for the profit. One example of it can be me because I only spend a dollar or two per week and I don't expect to win to be honest. I just enjoyed the moment I spend on the casino that I am playing with.

The ambiance of the site is so relaxing and they have friendly people. It can be the same as staying on a hotel where you pay for their service and games are just a bonus. If you are not fortunate to have a good wealth then gambling is not a solution for that to make more money but there can be other things that you can do to earn more income but is less risky.
1405  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Europa Conference League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Semifinals! on: May 07, 2022, 05:51:55 AM
I see that the bookmakers have not yet published team quotes for the upcoming final and are not yet accepting bets on this event. Most likely the favorite will be Roma.
By the way, has it already been explained somewhere why Mourinho was crying after the final whistle? I saw that he was so overwhelmed with emotions that he could not restrain himself. Is it because the match was tense, I did not think that Mourinho is capable of such emotions in such a tournament.
I was also very curious about this now just one crypto related site published their odds with Roma @2.20 Draw @3.40 and Fey@3.20. If someone interested he can join 1xbet which is doing business with fiat and altcoin both ways.

There is no doubt Mourinho is very emotional person, and he has done many good things as well in soccer world after very long time he has done good job and now have something to proud every one is going with his own views about this person in soccer but still I believe with his achievement's he deserves some respect because no doubt he is something special here at this post for soccer.
1406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: May 06, 2022, 09:31:51 PM
Really a bad season by Everton and i really didnt expect them to fight to stay in the league. They have such a good team for top 7 places but i guess their coaches dont know what they are doing honestly. Something needs to change in the future if they survive
They already changed the coach and nothing changed.. They have 1 missing game in addition to another 4. Leicester and Arsenal are the hardest for them, the others will depend from their skill. It is a very bad season for Everton and surviving it will not be that easy.
There is no doubt this was one of the worst season for them, and now they are on brink off relegation with most chances they will down and out because other teams have some better chances specially if Burnley won against Aston Villa they will surely in safe zone and Leeds United is also having some bad time here most chances we will have fight until end between these two sides for survive Leeds United and Everton.

If Everton have their first away win in last few matches against Leicester City in coming days then surely they have some fair chance for staying here in Premier League, otherwise it's going to be very hard job for them to stay here. Everton having some good results at home and beat Manchester United and Chelsea now time for some better results from away matches.
1407  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Found an excellent coin! on: May 06, 2022, 07:43:42 PM
I found a great coin called MetaPets! Still very new but viewing their roadmap, they seem to have great plans in the works as well as a strong and dedicated team. Community seems very active on the telegram.
Probably it's either you are shilling your coin or just another random pump and dump coin, no link to what you are shilling so as to confirm their authenticity, my advice for you is to back off shit coin it's gonna send you to where you don't expect, you have promoted a shit coin a while ago now you trying to promote another shit coin probably just to scam innocent investors
He won't shill this for no reason but he might be one of the investors of this coin if he isn't the owner but I like the effort that he did because it should be the project's owner's job to promote their coin and not the investors.

There's a big chance that this coin is only just a pump and dump because of its name. They just combine metaverse and pets which are two of the most trending topics right now. Not sure if he forgot the link or he is only scared to find out that we are right with our speculations but if you still want the link, here: https://metapetscoin.com/. That might be it is since I can't find any similar links. You think some investors are innocent but it can also be their fault it they get scammed because they don't read reviews and they don't make a research.
1408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: PH banned online cockfighting - Worst gambling-related cases recorded! on: May 06, 2022, 07:16:07 PM
Online cockfighting which seems new to me and I don't know people will get the same experience of real world online cockfighting. But banning because people are addicted is good move or else they can bring more restrictions so the addiction can be reduced but banning it is okay for me because its totally not fair to treat the animals in that way for our business.
You can ask yourself the same thing if online casinos games offer the same experience as offline casino games do and by that you will know the answer but unlike to many casino games, this online cockfighting is not played by you but it can be the same as sports betting where you only watch the match live or in the case of e-cockfighting you're watching two chickens fight for their lives. Obviously if who dies or gets injured, he will lose and if you bet on that chicken you will also lose your money.

Online cockfighting can be the same as any other gambling games, they shouldn't ban it as long as it has a permit or license to operate but they only ban those who are illegal.
1409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: PH banned online cockfighting - Worst gambling-related cases recorded! on: May 05, 2022, 09:47:08 PM
Do you believe in gambling for fun? It doesn't happen, mate. Those who are saying they are gambling for fun also want to make a profit. Don't believe those who are saying that because in their inner self, they are desiring to win. And that's the start of being addicted.

Congratulations to those who can fight the temptation after a big loss. That's a good personality. However, it's unfortunate that there are others who like to chase losses. Since it's easy and convenient to play this online cockfighting, many people become addicted to it.

It should be stopped if the situation is now really worst and it can't be controlled anymore.
It does really happen. There are people that gambles for fun and one of it is me. I didn't expect to earn a profit but if I do then nice but after that I will stop because I already had fun. Maybe it doesn't happen to you because you always gamble in hopes of earning something. That is not wrong but what is only wrong is if you expect to win at all times because that won't happen but you will only lose and lose more looking for that big win.

This online cockfighting on the Philippines are so popular that even underage people gets involved with it and there are even reports of deaths and players are being kidnapped for the same reason. That's the reason why their president bans it for good.

If you're reckless to regain your previous losses and you're not taking your time on your bet you will likely lose all your money in seconds, it goes with the motivation, losing your money in seconds just mean that you are playing and taking a big chance with a huge amount which is not good you want it all or nothing, and we all know its hard to beat the house with that reckless attitude.
Our greed never let the common sense to be on the top which is the reason why we do crazy things and life risk after knowing the chances of results will be in the favour of us is very low. Atleast in the future we should not repeat the mistake so we won't stuck in this situation forever.
I believe that all people have their own greed but there are some people who cant just control their greed, that is why they got carried away and do the things that shouldn't be done. These type of people can feel regret and they can say to themselves that they won't do it again but I know that it's hard for them to stick with their promises.

There are times or at some point of their lives, where they can find themselves doing the same thing again. For those that are still on their right mind and aren't like that, it's good that they can come across a story like this one (the OP shared). They can visualize how hard it was, so they will not attempt to be in the same situation.
1411  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who is your bitcoin hero (excluding Satoshi)? on: May 05, 2022, 09:03:17 PM
Though it is not included in the listed Heroes ,  but I will still include and that is My Brother because he is the one that Opened my Eyes and Knowledge about what is Bitcoin and how this brings good to my life .

My first Impression about Bitcoin is not that Good that's why His effort and dedication to make me understand is Unforgettable and worth a trust.

but my Bitcoin crypto world/forum Hero is Theymos , because even How hard he is facing difficulties in this forum running yet he continues to spread the word of crypto .
Maybe you and your bro are very close to each other because he willingly help you to get started in bitcoin, you are lucky to have a bro like that while others like me, we have a cruel brother but its better that we are the ones that know bitcoin and not our bro's because if that happens, then we still have a zero knowledge until now in regards to bitcoin.

I discovered btc myself, so will that means that my bitcoin hero is myself or my inner self? But, how did you know that theymos is having a hard time? If you will only check his address, you will see that he has a lot of bitcoins. That should be enough to maintain or to keep this forum alive but yes, he is one of our hero because without him, there will be no bitcointalk.
1412  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is it always about price? on: May 03, 2022, 09:55:36 PM
Previously I think many people did not think that the price of Bitcoin could skyrocket to this extent,
after the Bitcoin price experienced an upward trend, it seems that after that many people really considered it,
currently cryptocurrencies are constantly evolving and it will continue to do so
The funny thing is, nobody believed we would ever crack over 50k, now that we did, everyone is upset that we are not doing it again Cheesy I mean come on, it is at around 40k levels which is higher than ever, and just because we reached 68k doesn't mean that we should be there at all times.

We are doing fine and people should be happy about doing fine for now, it doesn't mean that we should be happy if it drops a lot more, like under 30k would scare me as well, but just because we are around 40k doesn't mean we are in a bear market. That's the one that grinds my gears the most, calling 40k a bear market, how is that a bear market when you look at it long term?
1413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hard earned money - Busted in seconds on: May 03, 2022, 08:40:29 PM
I think it's okay to use hard earned money to gamble, but we should be able to limit the amount of money we will use to gamble. So the hard earned money that we have will not all run out, and the most important thing when gambling is to control our emotions, so we know when to stop and not continue to gamble until we lose all the money we have. From the very beginning the OP used the money saved to pay off the debt was the wrong decision, I hope the OP realizes his mistake and makes it a mistake not to do the same thing in the future. I also thank the OP for sharing what he went through, it is also a warning to all of us to be responsible gamblers. I suggest gambling with the extra money we have, meaning that we first fulfill all our needs.
Including paying debts, bills, and daily necessities. After that if there is still money left we can use it for gambling, the key is in ourselves how we manage money well, that way we can prevent what happens to the OP.
Of course it's very fine because it was ours. We work hard for it so we deserve to spend it, on the things that can make us happy and gambling can be one of it. What is only not right is if you stole the money and use it for your own good.

Limiting is a must and before we gamble, we always been warned to gamble responsibly because if not then there might be some bad things that will happen to us like we can lose too much money or become heavily addicted with it. This must be the biggest mistake the op have made or will made to his life because he shared it here and I can feel that next time he will be more careful again or he may not play gambling anymore.
1414  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Just a piece of advice needed here folks on: May 03, 2022, 09:21:30 AM
I started trading (long-term) for couple of years back now and since then i've been doing averagely okay on whatever altcoins project I put into. But what I seem to be lacking is when to actually get out at the right appropriate time.

At least, if not perfectly okay, a bit fairly okay.
Please my pull out strategy are quite poor, kindly help a soul out before it gets completely worst. 🙏
Maybe you should learn technical analysis, I believe it’s going to be helpful in your trading and investment. Although there is really no guarantee that what you predicted is how the market is going to be, but it is going to help you to improve your trading.

And another thing is you should be investing in the right projects, and you should also have a target which would be leading you on your investment. If you do not have a target of what you really want to achieve, then you wouldn’t know when to pull out from the market because you are not sure of what you are doing. So, make sure you have plans.
1415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Still Supporting And Playing On Newly Launch Casinos on: May 02, 2022, 08:09:08 PM
new casinos are introduced almost every day. But it is their to aware that casino in this forum is a place of competition so they have to increase their activities, bonuses, active and with genuine heart. If those things are observe then the casino gambling game companies will excel in the forum. But whereby the gambling company misbehave, it might run at lost . Although business is for risk and gain but the risk any entraupreneure took in any business trip is a calculated risk.

Gambling is not a carrier and I don't think it is a profession so gambling is a personal interest not a guarantee Job. So when new casino gambling project is launched in the forum, then it is the user will decide to know whether to play or not. But if the atmosphere of the game is good and conducive, Gamblers will support, join them and play. When the gamblers played the game and see the important of the game then they will on their own will advertise it to others.
Not only on this forum but on the gambling industry as a whole. There is a big competition out there, this is why every new casino must try their very best to stand out among the crowd. Increasing their activities in the forum by actively replying and posting some updates can make someone impressed.

I like that better than increasing their bonuses because increasing it means that the difficulty of getting it is also becoming more harder. Also too much bonus will make the site look suspicious. People will start to think that it's only a bait for them to deposit and they will get scammed later on. It's nice if a player willingly advertise a casino but oftentimes they do it for the referral rewards.
1416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Horse Racing and Gambling on it should be banned on: May 02, 2022, 01:29:45 PM
I doubt it'll get banned since there's so much money being made from it I understand that it sucks but there's not much you can do when money is one of the main factors that keeps things going.
That's the sad truth. Money controls everything. Money is more important to those greedy people and not the lives of the poor animals. The government can't do anything because they are also being paid to continue this kind of business.

Forcing is not right if the horse are in a bad condition but it's fine to use them on races as long as they are healthy. That's not what you called "forcing" but it was their own job. The company bought them and feed them properly for that purpose but it would be better if they can take extra care of the horses like always checking their health before they race them and I believe they have other horses which that they can use as a replacement.
1417  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin a Partway to Becoming Self-Reliance. on: May 02, 2022, 10:50:59 AM
Bitcoin on the other hand offers its, users, the total freedom they deserve both in financial freedom and also in the knowledge of how transactions are handled and verify this gives Bitcoin users the total freedom. spend their money whatever way and in whichever amount. Bitcoin activities on the other hand are more profitable compared to other physical traditional activities which have made it users totally free.
What do you think about Bitcoin&freedom
One of the things that really got me interested in bitcoin is how simple it is when it comes to making transactions. It is very cheap compared to most other means there is, and then you don’t need much to make use of it, no paperwork like you would do when making use of banks. It has just simplified everything so well.

No matter where someone is around the world, all they need is just create an account which is setup instantly and you have your address which is the only thing needed for the transaction. And it is really a cool technology.
1418  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Unregulated Trading Platforms on: May 02, 2022, 07:42:23 AM
There is something I m not getting cleared from you and somehow got confused with your post.
Questions you asking is already answered by you so wondering what you needed again.
If you sent BTC to scam wallet then you have to forget about it as it's missing which can never be seen or reversed to you again. Before dealing with any untrusted platform which you suspected to be scam is to make proper research about the platform or venture before going ahead with any deal or transactions.
What he said was even quite confusing as he said that it was a trading group and later said it was a trading platform. Well, whatever it is, as long as it is as scam, there is no way that he is getting that money back. It’s clear in cryptocurrency that any wrong transaction you make, there is no reversing back. It’s not like PayPal where you can send money and reverse it if there is a problem, there is no such possibility. He should have done his research before investing his money into that platform, instead he chose to trust them with his money and when he suspected it’s a scam is when he decided to make his research.
1419  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hard earned money - Busted in seconds on: May 02, 2022, 06:31:16 AM
Whatever gambling you do, you must be able to control it even if it is difficult. I often experience the same thing as you, but since then I have shifted my lust to other things, watching movies or watching live broadcasts on any program to refresh my brain so I don't get greedy.
Taking a moment to calm down to start gambling again, as a result I am grateful that my money came back even though I didn't win but at least I didn't lose. Should be able to take a break of a few hours to gamble again, You can't make profits instantly if you're not lucky.
Diverting your attention to something else works like charm. I did this trick as well whenever I feel the urge to gamble. Not that I am limiting myself but I already did play gambling earlier. Either I win or lose I already said to myself that I will stop after that because I know what will be the outcome if I don't stop.

It can only lead me to become an addicted gambler. We can still have fun doing other things but I can say that they are much better because there is no money involved on them. If ever we got overboard doing that thing at least we still have that money in our wallet and we know that we can pay our debts more easily if ever we have one, like the OP.
1420  Economy / Gambling / Re: Another New Rule On Gambling Adverts Ban Celebrities and Sports Stars on: May 01, 2022, 09:58:24 PM
There are some marketing rules - and companies and industries do break the rule.
In our country earlier before the social media anyone could do anything to the images and picture of celebrities for marketing purpose - but now there is so much awareness and everyone is careful and do the stuff with care.
So the marketing happens in real life? But is that more dangerous because anyone can see your face if your are dishonest about your promotions. They can report you the authorities or worst they will threaten your life.

Now that there are now the internet and social medias, it's not more easier to promote and anyone can do it anonymously without needing to showcase their face and personal data's. Editing and grabbing pictures online is now a common thing and people can use that as their marketing materials. I think there are also rules or law in regards to marketing. Everyone must obey that if they don't want to get in trouble.
